Very Impressive firearms auction in MO

The late owner had good taste. Hundreds of items. Take a gander.

Man, that's like rolling through one of my granddad's old copies of Gun Digest - fine old Colt after fine old Colt after fine old Colt that I never even knew existed.

Beautiful. Finally, someone with some taste.

I would love to get that Winchester Model 63 and that Remington 1100 LT 20 Skeet Gun.

It's quite the collection of guns. Just in Colt's SAA's, Python's, 1911's etc. etc. is impressive.

Damn! Nice stuff. I'm tempted to make the trip.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

That is an impressive collection. This must have been his full time job. I wonder how much the collection will sell for?

The P220 (Listing #225) is definitely not stainless (SS). Stainless W. German SIGs do not exist.

Q,

Has a photo of it and the box, judging from the era it is more likely a nickel plated one.

I may have to watch this one, very curious about the lefty 20 gauge 1100.

Yeah, I saw the box, too. Couple of things, however. You only see the top of the box, not the side with the label, where the relevant info confirms or refutes the nickel finish. The gun itself looks way too polished to be a factory nickel gun. But, it also could be the lighting giving it that appearance.

Depends how old he was. I’m 45 and been buying since I was 18. Including inherited guns, I have a collection almost 1/2 this size. I sold about a dozen guns a few years ago to raise almost 1/2 the cash for my new Tacoma. So value can add up quick especially if you buy well. I typically buy several to a dozen guns per year so I could see my collection being this big if live to say 80.
